Sa’idu Idiya, an Inspector with the Kebbi Police Command, was killed in a single accident caused by a tyre burst on the Koko-Jega road in Kebbi.

The incident was confirmed in a statement issued by the command’s spokeswoman, Nafi’u Abubakar.

“On 25/11/2023 at approximately 1000HRS, there was a lone fatal motor vehicle accident along Koko/Jega road involving a Police Toyota Land Cruiser with REG. NO. 5465D,” he stated.

“The vehicle was conveying a team of policemen led by AC CID, Kebbi Police Command, ACP Suleiman Sade and nine others, while on their way to visit a scene of crime at Kendawa village, Dutsinmari District of Koko/Besse Local Government Area.”

When the Inspector arrived at the NNPC area in Koko, one of the vehicle’s rear tires blew, causing it to tumble three times into the neighboring jungle.

According to the press release, “The scene of the accident was immediately visited by a team of Policemen from Koko Division and evacuated the victims to General Hospital Koko for treatment, where one Inspector Sa’idu Idiya of the SCID died as confirmed by a Medical Doctor.”

Abubakar went on to say that the corpse, along with the other victims, was later moved to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Birnin Kebbi for further treatment.

The PPRO prayed for the lovely soul of the late Idiya to rest in Jannatul Firdaus.

The deceased was later buried in accordance with Islamic custom.
